It was a battle of the point guards during the Charlotte Hornets game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.  Over the course of the night, Chris Paul got much the better of this matchup on his way to 22 points and 15 assists. Kemba Walker could not contain him.  But on this highlight play, Kemba Walker crossover sends Chris Paul flying.

Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker got Chris Paul leaning the wrong way on a crossover move before draining the open jumper Monday night.  And it got worse for Paul, as he appeared to trip on teammate DeAndre Jordan’s foot.

Walker finished with 15 points on 4-of-11 shooting, along with five rebounds and six assists.  The Los Angeles Clippers won 113-92 over the Charlotte Hornets.

When Walker’s crossover works he looks brilliant, but he doesn’t have much of a bag of tricks beyond that and he isn’t kicking out on drives like he should. Paul has a massive bag of tricks and didn’t need to break them all out to get the Clippers a comfortable and needed win.

The Hornets haven’t really played up to expectations so far and are currently 4-11 with the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference.  The Clippers are currently 8-5 with the eighth spot in the Western Conference.
